Modern contours meet high-performance playability
Meticulously sculpted from a lightweight slab of alder, the Larry Carlton Y10 offers ergonomic contours that are guaranteed to please even the most discriminating of fretboard fanatics. To start with, the archtop construction enhances both comfort and playability while giving it a smooth, round acoustic foundation. Moreover, the 3-piece hard maple neck features a hand-cradling C-shaped profile. Additionally, this already comfortable neck is matched by a compound-radius ebony fingerboard, which has been rolled and smoothed using Sire's outstanding Edgeless process and crowned with 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets.
From shimmering cleans to brutal growls — all in one guitar
Multi-voice Fishman Fluence active humbuckers are among the most popular pickups with modern metal players here at Sweetwater. And with good reason — the explosiveness of these pickups is positively intoxicating, and their versatility is unrivaled. The Sire Larry Carlton Y10 comes armed with Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, with a ceramic model at the bridge and an alnico model in the neck. The bridge pickup delivers the cutting attack you'd expect from a ceramic-loaded humbucker, while the neck pickup provides the power, musicality, and fluidity you'd expect from alnico. Both pickups are equipped with Active and Passive voices, accessed using the push-pull Volume control, enabling you to tackle modern articulation and vintage-tinged growl with equal assurance. You can also access a third voice using the push-pull Tone control, enabling you to access glassy, crystalline single-coil tones in an instant.
Dive-bomb, squeal, and soar without sacrificing tuning
The Larry Carlton Y10 holds up to hyperkinetic whammy assaults without choking, thanks to its Gotoh 510TS-FE1 tremolo, which is reinforced by a Graph Tech XL nut and premium locking tuning machines. With this trem, you can execute subtle, expressive warbles with tasteful aplomb, or, if the musical situation calls for it, you can lean into screaming harmonic squeals and subterranean dive-bombs — all with super-reliable tuning stability. Additionally, the Gotoh 510TS-FE1's solid steel block imbues this solidbody electric guitar with seemingly endless sustain. Want to brutalize your whammy bar? If so, the Y10 will oblige.
